Details

NL Eats Community Outreach Inc. is dedicated to addressing food insecurity and transforming the agricultural landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador through the Road to Agritech Success Program (R2ASP). This comprehensive initiative will drive sustainable agricultural innovation, tackling pressing environmental and workforce challenges by combining digital education, community engagement, and hands-on experiences. The primary goal is to empower youth—particularly underrepresented groups like Indigenous youth, young women, new immigrants, and individuals with disabilities—with cutting-edge skills in AI and automation for agriculture, fostering a new generation of leaders equipped to revolutionize the agri-food sector.

Deliverables

Learners will be tasked with developing a comprehensive educational program plan, tailored specifically to NL Eats Community Outreach Inc.'s mission of addressing food insecurity and fostering agricultural innovation in Newfoundland and Labrador. This plan will serve as a strategic roadmap, valuable for securing provincial and federal funding, as well as for engaging key community and industry partners. The deliverable will benefit both non-profit and for-profit ventures by providing a robust framework for program execution and scaling.


Learners will function as strategic partners, and the quality of the outcomes will improve with greater collaboration and input from NL Eats. We recommend scheduling weekly meetings to ensure alignment, provide guidance, and offer feedback throughout the project.
